Welcome to the C.O.O.R. Intermediate School District

Community Feedback for Strategic Planning

We are seeking your perspective on our district’s future. Our  "Strategic Planning”  has begun this fall to review how we can meet our community's needs and to align our goals accordingly.   We want to continue providing quality educational and support services for all learners in the ISD alongside our local districts and community partners.  

We have scheduled several in-person sessions in November to gather feedback from all those we serve and community partners.  Parents, students, Community members, teachers, and all local district and ISD leaders and staff members will have the opportunity to share input.  We are asking you to consider the strengths of C.O.O.R. ISD, opportunities for improvement, barriers to implementation, and your vision for what C.O.O.R. ISD can become.  

If you can't attend an in-person session, we invite you to take the online survey linked here.   ISD Feedback Survey  It is only four questions long.

Thank you for helping us with this important initiative. We look forward to reviewing your input and adjusting our goals as needed.  Then our team will align our work to meet those goals.

Constituent Districts

C.O.O.R. ISD  includes the counties of Crawford, Oscoda, Ogemaw, and Roscommon, an area covering 2,600 square miles. Within this area, C.O.O.R. serves six local public school districts and two Public School Academies. 

The ISD collects and monitors data that is required by the Michigan Department of Education and works with local districts to ensure that the type and nature of services needed within our area are properly represented at the state level.

The services that the ISD provides allow local school districts regardless of size to have access to quality personnel, services and programs that they could not afford individually. This prevents unnecessary duplication and better use of state and local money through the sharing of resources.
